The Child and Adult Care Food Program receives funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is administered by the Wisconsin De­part­ment of Public Instruction. The program provides financial assistance to day care home providers so that nutritious meals can be integrated with non­res­idential child care services. The goal of the Program is to improve the diets of young children and increase the opportunity for children to eat a variety of nutri­tious foods. The meals and snacks served meet standards set by USDA.

Children enrolled for child care are served the meals at no separate charge and without regard to race, sex, color, disability, age, or na­tional origin.
